Lanzarote has launched its official scientific magazine, El Jameo, a new publication designed to preserve, compile, and share research on the geological, historical, and territorial heritage of Lanzarote and La Graciosa.
The magazine was presented as part of the European Geoparks Week programme and is intended to make scientific knowledge more accessible to the wider public while creating a lasting documentary record of the islands’ geological history.
Speaking at the launch, Cabildo President Oswaldo Betancort highlighted the importance of making science more accessible, stressing the need to bring knowledge about Lanzarote, La Graciosa, and the wider Canary Islands closer to residents through educational initiatives.
Named after one of Lanzarote’s most distinctive geological formations, El Jameo is intended to become a reference resource for researchers, students, and anyone interested in understanding the natural and historical processes that have shaped the island.
The first issue focuses on the island’s 1824 eruptions, bringing together contributions from specialists who examine one of the most significant volcanic events in Lanzarote’s recent history from a range of perspectives.
With the launch of El Jameo, the Geopark continues its efforts to promote and protect the region’s unique natural and cultural heritage while reinforcing its international role in volcanic research, conservation, and education.
